He thinks they’re tasty treats. I guess it’s the texture he likes.

So, what with one thing and another, I spent most of Saturday, not sewing together a sweater, but hanging out with Atlas at the emergency vet. He wound up having to have a piece of foam the size of my pinky finger surgically removed from his small intestine.

Incidentally, there were a lot of dogs at the emergency vet Thanksgiving weekend. I bet “Rover ate the wishbone” is a common thing this time of year.

I don’t think it’s a total fail. You knit the entire sweater. You blocked all the pieces. The only thing you didn’t get done was sewing it together and, quite frankly, I think you had quite a good reason for not finishing. You did better than I did. I didn’t even touch my sweater….

You’re being too hard on yourself. You knitted a sweater. With a few days to spare. It’s not “national knit and sew and block a sweater month”. So, it’s some assembly required—but since no further knitting is required, I pronounce you successful.

Poor Atlas! Hope he’s feeling better soon, and your knitting mojo has returned. I think you met your goal to KNIT a sweater in November! Alas (not Atlas), my November (and December) knitting has been sidetracked by a broken wrist. Some people will get their “Christmas” presents for Valentine’s Day!

As others have said, I think you didn’t fail at all. It got knitted – you just have to sew it up. Well done you! I completely forgot I had joined up for this. I did manage to finish the front of the sweater, but the back was problematic, and I lost my mojo… (how’s that for an excuse!?)
